Thanks for sharing this! I'm an Art Ed college student in my first elementary school placement. The upper elementary students are working on still life drawings with a viewfinder - and they really struggle!The viewfinders are much smaller, maybe 2"x3" and the students must hold it up with one hand and draw with the other. Many lack confidence, have never used a camera with a viewfinder before either.

I absolutely love the "Squint like a pirate" idea, I'm going to tell this to the students on my next visit. Thanks for the great idea!

About Me

Hi, I'm Phyl and after 36 years as an art teacher, I am now officially retired, but that doesn't mean I'm done with art education. The truth is, I'm more involved now than ever before! I hope you'll visit me often as I share art lesson ideas, thoughts on art education, my own personal artistic and photographic endeavors, and tidbits about my family and the beautiful environment where we live.
